Buyer Decision Guide
Vitamin grades are specified by potency, carrier and purity, and the same vitamin name can cover several physical forms. Confirm the exact form and the analytical method before comparing quotations; overage and stability requirements are project-specific.
- Confirm the exact physical form and carrier
- Check declared potency and the assay method
- Review stability and overage needs for your format
- Confirm light, heat and oxygen sensitivity in handling
How This Grade Differs
Sodium Ascorbate must be compared on physical form, carrier and declared potency rather than on the vitamin name alone. Powder, oil, crystal and diluted forms behave differently in blending, dosing and shelf life.
Compare these related grades before approval:
For a substitution review, compare botanical identity, plant part, assay target, analytical method, physical form and the current offered-batch COA.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you control related substances?
Related substances are integrated on the same HPLC run used for the 99.0%-101.0% on dried basis assay.
How should the material be stored after arrival?
Two years when stored properly. Keep the pack sealed; moisture uptake is the main risk for this grade.
How is appearance checked?
Fine white crystalline powder, compared against a retained sample from the approved batch.
What assay does Sodium Ascorbate Powder 98% carry on the certificate of analysis?
Assay 99.0%-101.0% on dried basis, determined by HPLC.
How recent is the representative batch shown?
The batch referenced is LXNK260523; your shipment is released on its own certificate rather than the representative one.
Can I review the COA before I pay?
Yes. Request the current or representative COA and check identity, method, limits and results before approving the purchase order.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The regular MOQ is typically 1 kg. An evaluation sample of 10-20 g can usually be arranged before a formal order, subject to stock.
What packing options are available?
Standard packing is a sealed food-grade inner liner inside an export carton or fibre drum. Pack size, labelling and private-label artwork are agreed in the written specification.
